Confession Session & Good Thoughts Thursday!
Ok - you veterans know how this goes, but for anyone who hasn't participated in a CS/GT day, this is a thread where we ask for good thoughts when needed, send out good thoughts to others, and then open up a bit and confess things we need to get out.
So, without further ado - go for it ladies!
Wife, mom, attorney, blogger, runner - trying to learn to love all the good things in life!!

Re: Confession Session & Good Thoughts Thursday!
Good thoughts: To my friend L, recovering from a double mastectomy, that she keep healing well! To my friend MP that she find the joys in little things each day while her husband recovers from whatever the hell this is that has him down for the count.
Good thoughts: to all who need them for health, jobs, tough times, babies, pregnancies, trying to get pregnant, you name it. Lots o' love to all!
Confession: work is super slow this week, and I'm LOVING the time to clean without the kids home. But I'm making no money, which is going to mean a MISERABLE September if this doesn't pick up soon. UGH. But hey, if I have to be broke, I might as well do it in a clean house!!
Confession: I'm annoyed with weight loss. For the past 4 days I've stayed within my calorie goals each day and haven't lost an ounce. WTF? grrrr. This lack of working out is killing me. blech.

Confession: I am growing my hair out, but I am so sick of it. I look sloppy and like I don't care. Part of me wants to just chop it all off again at my next salon appointment rather than get it reshaped for this in-between styles length. I still have a week to debate it, but I haven't personally liked my hair as much as when it was very short.
Good thoughts: to everyone for healthy selves, families, babies, pregancies; and safe and happy homes!
Confession: I hope DH was serious when he said he would consider hiring a housekeeper, even if only once every few months. We struggle with paying other people to do tasks that we are fully capable of, but we are realizing now that our jobs can afford us the little luxury of help around the house, but we can't add hours to our day to make time to get it all done ourselves and still enjoy life.
Confession: I really really really want to start working on DS's "big boy room." I never really got the nesting urge with the last LO, but this time I have a lot of anxiety over getting DS's new room ready (we will re-use the gender neutral nursery that he is currently in since we are team green again). But there are still several more things on our list that are more pressing matters before we can get to that point.
